Best Bookstore: Prairie Lights

15 S. Dubuque St., Iowa City

In the City of Literature, home to numerous independent bookstores, Prairie Lights remained the top pick among voters for yet another year. The store is known for hosting readings by notable authors, and for topping the list each year in this stacked category. It also rises to the top of our list as one of Iowa City’s quintessential establishments.

What voters said:

• “No contest, Prairie Lights is the best book store in the universe.”

• “Not just best in Iowa City, one of the best in the country. Amazing selection and knowledgeable staff.”

• “Prairie Lights is another Iowa City institution that has earned its sterling reputation. I love nothing better than to waste away a Saturday afternoon wandering through their wobbling book stacks!”
